I think that I might have put user_xattr on the wrong part of the second partition but not sure. Thanks for trying though. I tried looking through google and no luck either on other websites.

Ah, forgive me for not reading through the entire thread. You really should ask this question in a support area, and as sdowney717 suggested, mention which file system you're using. I think the xattr fix requires ext4.

I use ext4.

One is ext4 the other is ext3.

Not a problem. Thanks for showing me where I could some extra help. I just figured I would ask here first before I made a thread about it.

Re: Netflix On Ubuntu

You have 2 partitions?
You can convert ext3 to ext4 without losing data

To enable the ext4 features on an existing ext3 filesystem, use the command:
# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/DEV
WARNING: Once you run this command, the filesystem will no longer be mountable using the ext3 filesystem!
After running this command (specifically, after setting the uninit_bg parameter), you MUST run fsck to fix up some on-disk structures that tune2fs has modified:
# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/DEV

Re: Netflix On Ubuntu

Still too choppy on a netbook with xubuntu. Even though it worked fine on windows 7. I don't really take it anywhere though and have and watch netflix mostly on my ps3 and have a nexus 7 and vita for on the go son not a really big deal.

Whoever came up with the phrase "There is no such thing as a stupid question" obviously never had the internet.
